Hello, I'm Scott and this is my first post. i'm rebuilding a 2.7 out of a 2002 intrepid that's been apart for 4 year's. My daughters step dad started the project and he's currently battling cancer and is too sick to finish it.
Question one, They bought a timing chain and gear set and when i was replacing the cam sprocket in the left head i noticed the timing notches for the cam sensor were different. I have red that there 2 sprockets, one is ngc timing with the 3 notches near the timing mark and the other is sbec timing. Long story short is that they have gotten 6 different head's for this motor and there 3 set's of cam's with it. How do i know what cam sprocket i need to install. The vin is an R and i'd rather install the correct cam sprocket while the engine is on the engine stand. I would think there is a way to ensure the cam sprocket matches the computer and the timing teeth in the flywheel (flexplate)?
Question two. While torquing the cam cap's down i noticed the motor then wouldn't bar over, (locked up). I loosened the cam cap's and now it does bar over. Come to find out with all the used head's that were bought that the cam cap's got mixed up. So i sorted them all out and there was only another set there and cleaned then up and lubed and installed them, Torqued them down and i HOPE it's ok. It seam's to bar over the same as when the cam cap's were when they were loose.
Any one try this guide stop block from this web site to prevent the timing chain slop? check this out by googling fix27engine Tks Scott
